Additional Step: If you still see a Google Drive application and folder in Finder (under places), Control + Click (or right-click) on them and select Remove from Sidebar from the drop-down menu. The items that you may see in the sidebar (under Places) are aliases. It usually happens if you move the Google Drive to Trash, but you haven’t emptied yet. However, for some users, they may stay even the Trash is empty. Do you get an error message when trying to drag Google Drive to Trash? If yes, try the following method.
